Richmond is a growing market with strong tenant demand from young professionals, families, and college students, depending on the neighborhood.

This is defined as 30 days or more, and you will easily find nurses, professors, students, and more than need a 1-3 month airbnb.Speaking of, you could rent the whole space mid-term - and I suggest through airbnb or VRBO but you don't have to use those.

You also don't need to do a traditional long term strategy, is there a draw the  area that playing host to a traveling nurse or other professional/student would be interested? 

As of today I own 13 doors; 3 of them UD student rentals and the rest in Wilmington.

I have about $4000k left on my car loan and I have some student loans which both of these do have some impact on qualifying for loans.

It is our goal to deliver all of this in the RTR Academy along with a plethora of benefits to students to include:-VIP access to RTR inventory before the general public-ability to earn back course fees through investing & our attractive referral program-tax, legal & investing advice from our team of attorney, CPAs & investment advisors-no cost SDIRA or solo 401(k) account to invest through retirement vehicles -lifetime membership with no ongoing or additional fees, etc.!

I am, admittedly, a complete novice but I consider myself an astute student! 

My sacrifice… no haircuts and no fast food. 1 job full time, 1 full time side hustle. 0 debt at the time other than student loans.

For the case of Florence, there are college students there who are having a hard time finding housing due to all the units becoming Airbnbs.

If you're a good student and can get into a good college without going very deep into debt, I believe you should go.
